A new Wellness Center and major Clubhouse renovation are the next steps in the Pines’ continued investment in enhancing and upgrading the Club experience.
“The objective of the Club upgrade and expansion is to become an even more integral part of our members’ lives, providing amenities and activities for every day of the week,” he says. “Members want to connect with friends, families, and associates, and it is our job to bring them together as a community.”
To that end, The Pines’ slated enhancements go beyond the Wellness Center. Once the Wellness Center is completed, a comprehensive renovation of the main clubhouse will begin. The renovation will include an expanded kitchen, a kids’ center, a members’ card room, a pro shop with two golf simulators, and an updated clubhouse façade. All aspects of the Club’s interior will be enhanced for better flow and a contemporary Western feel. This ambitious project is the first complete renovation since the Club’s opening in 1987.
The kitchen improvements will allow the Club to offer both casual lounge dining in an expanded space and also fine dining, private events, and club-hosted dinners. The Club will also grow its al fresco dining choices, further adding to the revered Pines dining experience.
“More of our members are connecting with their families at the Club, and the Club is committed to providing comfortable, beautiful places where they can do that,” says assistant general manager and membership director Amy Bickley. Members already enjoy the valley’s only year-round tennis and pickleball facility and the recently added year-round lap pool. Club events range from golf groups and tournaments to racquet sports camps to culinary adventures and more. The new children’s space will serve as headquarters for the Club’s summer kids camp and host movie nights, kid crafts, parent’s nights out, and kid parties.
While this grand renovation promises to transform the Club, The Pines’ commitment to supporting the community remains constant, says Bickley. Teton Pines Members, through the Club’s scholarship program, which began in 1994, have donated more than $1.3 million to local high school students who have worked at the Club. Additionally, Teton Pines has hosted an annual golf tournament supporting the St. John’s oncology department. This raised over $116,700 in 2023 and more than $900,000 since the tournament’s inception in 2012. The Club has also partnered with the Grand Teton Music Festival as a sponsor and has hosted events for the National Museum of Wildlife Art, the Jackson Hole High School cross-country state championships, the Jackson Hole High School golf team, and more. In the winter, the groomed Nordic trails are open to the public. “We’ve always had a strong sense of community and engagement,” Bickley says. “This renovation will help tighten the bonds within our membership and our community.”
